“Medley” 360° multiexposure panorama taken in the Swiss alps on a night of tentless bivouac, Aletsch Arena, (Switzerland)
This shot represents Alex’s vision at its best: a 360 degrees panorama that captures every element surrounding the photographer during his on-location experience. This beautiful glacier is located in the Swiss Alps, Alex has been exploring these areas for weeks looking for places to show in his way, he chose this viewpoint because it is at a good height to have a wide and rich perspective of elements, the choice of the night was done by planning the moon phase and the position of our satellite so as to capture the moonlight directly on the glacier.
This image represents Alex’s challenge to create something different, something exclusive, everywhere. In the phototours Alex organizes every year in Iceland he was able to see this famous spot in many different conditions, he wanted to wait to create something unique… This morning’s sunrise was special: the rain was heavy and the sun filtered through the fog creating a surreal light, in about 20 seconds a rainbow (two actually) appeared and filled the area to the photographer’s left, creating symmetry of elements and giving the scene a unique touch.
